You can go to the Tribunal to have something reviewed. The Tribunal can make its own rules, but it must follow the Legal Services Act 2011 and any other rules made under it. The Tribunal also has to follow any practice notes issued under section 65(2)(b). You will need to use special forms when you go to the Tribunal. The chief executive of the Ministry can approve these forms after talking to the Tribunal. The Tribunal will use these rules and forms to help it make decisions.
